Land acknowledgement

I would like to acknowledge that I work on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territory of the Coast Salish Peoples, including the territories of the xwməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), Stó:lō and Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh (Tsleil- Waututh) Nations.

Traditional: Traditionally used and/or occupied by Musqueam people

Ancestral: Recognizes land that is handed down from generation to generation

Unceded: Refers to land that was not turned over to the Crown (government) by a treaty or other agreement

Connecting to Sockeye

Note

You need to have a UBC IP address in order to access to the server by connecting to eduroam or ubcsecure

Login to sockeye with the ssh command:

ssh cwl@sockeye.arc.ubc.ca

  • cwl is your campus wide login

  • password is your same CWL password

  • sockeye.arc.ubc.ca is the server address

  • However, we need Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)

Alternative way connecting to Sockeye

Generate a new ssh key pair

ssh-keygen -t rsa
  • Follow the defaults by prompting Enter
  • Passphrase Optional
  • Two keys generated:
    • one public (id_rsa.pub)
    • one private (id_rsa)

Caution

Keep the private key safe and for your use only

Add your public key to the server

# Need to replace cwl!
ssh-copy-id -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
# Need to replace cwl!
type $env:USERPROFILE\.ssh\id_rsa.pub | ssh cwl@sockeye.arc.ubc.ca "cat >> .ssh/authorized_keys"

Use any editor to create ~/.ssh/config and enter the following:

# Note these indent matters
Host  arc # or another alias you like
  HostName sockeye.arc.ubc.ca
  User cwl # replace your cwl

  • Host = User@Hostname

  • Multiple configuration (multiple servers)

  • More options available , look at here
